Long Lawford Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Long Lawford’s crime profile in June 2025, accounting for 41.9% of all reported crimes. With a crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents, the area remains 42% below the UK average of 8.1, a consistent trend that reflects broader local factors. The dominance of violent crime—13 incidents compared to 6 property crimes—suggests a social dynamic shaped by proximity to Rugby’s urban core, where higher population density and transient populations may contribute to such patterns. While the UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.9 per 1,000, Long Lawford’s rate of 2.0 per 1,000 is 30% lower, a figure that may be partly explained by the area’s relatively stable community structures and lower levels of socioeconomic deprivation compared to other parts of the UK. Seasonal context also plays a role: as June marks the start of summer, increased social activity in local parks and public spaces may have contributed to higher reports of violent incidents. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.8 per 1,000, further reinforces the area’s lower-than-average rates for this category, with a 44% gap compared to the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. This suggests that community engagement and local policing strategies may be effectively mitigating such issues. The relatively low rates of property crime—6 incidents, or 9.7% of the total—contrast with the UK average, where property crimes typically account for a larger share. This discrepancy could be attributed to the area’s compact built-up nature, where surveillance and community presence may deter theft. However, the absence of major retail hubs or high-traffic commercial zones may also play a role, as these are common drivers of shoplifting and other property-related crimes. The data also shows that public order offences, though rising from zero to four incidents, remain just 2% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, indicating a narrow gap that may reflect the area’s unique challenges in managing public spaces during peak summer hours. Overall, the crime picture for Long Lawford in June 2025 illustrates a balance between localized factors and broader national trends, with a clear emphasis on addressing violent crime as a priority for future interventions.

June 2025 saw notable increases in shoplifting, criminal damage and arson, and public order offences, each rising from zero to one, two, and four incidents respectively. These spikes, though small in absolute terms, mark a departure from the previous month’s data. The crime mix shifted significantly, with violent crimes (13 incidents) now outpacing property crimes (6 incidents), a reversal of trends seen in earlier months. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, were 30% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, highlighting a local strength in reducing this category. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.8 per 1,000, was 44% below the UK average, further emphasizing the area’s lower-than-average rates for this category. Residents might find the daily crime count of one incident per day particularly relevant, as it provides a concrete, relatable measure of local risk.

Long Lawford's crime rate in June 2025 rose 93.8% compared to the previous month, climbing from 2.4 to 4.7 per 1,000 residents. This shift, while significant, still places the area 42% below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day, a figure that translates to a manageable local context. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 215 residents, a monthly exposure rate that suggests relatively low individual risk compared to national benchmarks. This statistic is particularly useful for residents assessing their personal safety: if one crime occurred for every 215 people, it equates to a 0.47% chance of being directly affected by crime in a given month. The population context further underscores that, despite the month-on-month increase, Long Lawford remains a low-crime area when scaled against its 6,660 residents.
